Below are some simple rules to follow prior to downloading and installing firmware on your D-Link product and discussing firmware in this forum.
Downloading and Installing Firmware for a D-Link Product
- Only install firmware downloaded directly from an official D-Link website or FTP site
- Only install firmware clearly labeled for the specific country/region where you purchased the D-Link product
- Firmware labeled as worldwide or ww will work for any country/region
- Firmware downloaded from an official D-Link site that is different from the country/region where the D-Link product was purchased may render the D-Link product as inoperable and void the warranty
- Firmware labeled as beta may not be as stable as the prior official release version
Discussing Firmware on the D-Link Forum
- Posting or discussing the location of beta firmware on official International D-Link sites (i.e. non-U.S.) is strictly prohibited in this forum unless said firmware is labeled as worldwide or ww
- Posting or discussing the location of firmware on third party sites (i.e. non D-Link) is strictly prohibited in this forum
Why Are there Country-Specific Firmware Versions for the Same D-Link Product?
- Country-specific dependencies, such as language and other variables sometimes results in country-specific firmware.
- Subtle variations in the manufacturing process from country to country may result in different hardware specifications and different firmware requirements. As such, using firmware not specifically designated for your D-Link product may render the D-Link product inoperable and void the warranty
- Although D-Link sometimes uses one firmware version for the same D-Link product/model released worldwide, until D-Link U.S. openly posts compatibility information (or labels the firmware as worldwide or ww), please refrain from posting or discussing links to non-US supported firmware in this forum
- Infringing posts will be removed from this forum
